Founded in 1972, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation (FHF) is a non-profit organization created to promote the preservation of buildings that contribute to the heritage of Kingston, Ontario, the County of Frontenac and the Islands, and Loyalist Township. Managed by a voluntary Board of Directors who are elected by the members at an annual meeting, it is financed by membership fees, investments, profits from property sales, tax-deductible bequests, and financial contributions.
.
The FHF has acquired and restored a number of historic properties over the past thirty years; it presently owns two early commercial buildings in downtown Kingston through the generous bequest of the Hall Family, which it is renting and restoring .
Under the direction of the Board of Directors the Foundation supports and promotes the conservation and awareness of the area’s built heritage.
To achieve its goals, the Foundation:
Maintains a sustainable organization through fundraising events and the receipt of planned gifts, cash, real property, and grants.
Educates heritage building owners and occupants about the benefits and methods of built heritage conservation.
Promotes public, neighbourhood, and business involvement in heritage activities by FHF advisors, small grants and support
